Best way to map/fwd subdomain to Network site?

TL;DR: What’s the best way to achieve a permanent forward / redirect from a new subdomain to an existing WP site?

I’m just getting back into using WP after a 10+ year haitus and am super rusty.

I have setup WP Network using subdomains for each site. This is working well, however now I would like to create a subdomain that forwards or redirects to an existing WP site. I.e. new.mysite.com >> mysite.com

Simply adding a CNAME to my DNS doesn’t work (404, which I half expected).

I did see the MU Domain Mapping plugin but it looks out of date. TBH I’d prefer a method that doesn’t require another plugin, but I’ll do what I must!

Any recommendations?
